I am very fortunate that I have access to all sorts of free foods year round for my tortoises.Haha, Georgia showing off.
I feel like I'm doing strangely well in all of the craziness, knock on wood. Most of the things I miss are because I moved to a rural area: $5 Friday sushi specials, fancy coffee, things like that.
My car is efficient, fuel was only 4.22ish/gal today (often .30+ more in the town I work in). I forage quite a bit because it's a hassle/long drive to get to a grocery store (and lately the produce has been SO bad anyway). Local produce seems to be for rich people though, so farmer markets are out. I've been pampering my own garden and a new little hibiscus plant. I imagine this winter I'll be relying a little more on pellets/kibble for the critters and Dollar General canned garbage for myself, but right now we're just going with the flow.
Corn at $3 a dozen and Boston Butt at $.99 a pound here at the beach These are from the flyer that ended yesterday. Starting today Pork shoulder picnic at $.99 a pound. I like the butts and shoulders because you can cook them both in so many different ways.A dozen ears of corn will now cost $12!!!!
A DOLLAR an ear? On Maylands Eastern Shore? They grow so much, that it used to be nearly free at 3 bucks a dozen 2 years ago!
Yeah, frightening times. I do not look at ANY gas price over 2 bucks a gallon as "ONLY"
Lucky you, Ed.I am very fortunate that I have access to all sorts of free foods year round for my tortoises.
Now if someone would just feed me.....Lucky you, Ed.
My favorite cheap salad dressing line at Walmart went up 50 cents last October or so. It went up another 50 cents 4 weeks ago.I've noticed several things are that not increasing in price during this period of inflation here in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Cigarettes, beer and whiskey, even the flavored ones. All the liquor stores in Virginia are state run.

Like Jeff said earlier, I get the same things every week. My food bill goes up a little bit each week. I'm a little more concerned about supply chain shortages so I may buy 2 of something that"s hard to find in stock.
There are fewer grocery stores in Northern Tulsa suburbs. Walmart, Sprouts, Sam's Club & Reasors are the only options. The Target store has only a partial grocery store.
